' Go ahead and cry, little boy, you know that your daddy did too, you know what your mama went through, you gotta let it out soon, just let it out '

JJ had gotten in a bad argument with his dad, again, and as expected, his dad didn't take it too well, and he punched jj hard in the eye. Later, when you and all the pogues were hanging out, he told them what happened with his dad, saying he was fine. But you knew he wasn't, you knew the way he got after being with his dad. Once the two of you were left alone in the living room, you got him an ice pack for his now black eye, and sat down next to him.

"I know you're not okay." you said after sitting in silence for a minute.

"what?.." JJ replied, looking up at you.

"I know you're not just fine after what happened earlier, with your dad." you said in a quiet tone.

"I just.." he started, trying to form words.., but of course, his voice trailed off.
